Abstract
Technology will not change all aspects of teaching, and if teachers think the computer will do the teaching for them, they will be a bit surprised. The computer will do nothing more than it has been told; it is a great tool that teachers did not have before, but it will never replace human intervention in the classroom. For most teachers, computers will provide them with a vast amount of information at their finger tips, and they must be prepared to use it in the most fitting way. The computer will have the capability to provide a challenge to a student who needs extra work. It will be able to track all students easier. For example, if the program on the computer had a tracking system for each student, it would track the student's individual progress and let the teacher know how the student was progressing in the program. If the child is having difficulty, it will alert the teacher to the potential problem and let the teacher intervene before the problem becomes too great. With this kind of capability, it would be almost impossible to let any child be overlooked.
